During the meeting at the AICC headquarters, the Congress also decided to hold its plenary session in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday sent out a stern message to leaders to perform or make way for others, and strongly pitched for accountability of office-bearers "from top to bottom" as he presided over the first meeting of the party's steering committee.
During the meeting at the AICC headquarters, the Congress also decided to hold its plenary session in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, in the second half of February, where Mr Kharge's election as president would be ratified.
As the Congress plans to end the Bharat Jodo Yatra by January 26, the Committee decided to continue its mass outreach with the 'Haath Se Haath Jodo Abhiyan (Joining Hands campaign)' till March 26, during which foot marches will be taken out from village to block and district levels and will culminate as public rallies at state headquarters.
The party will also hand out a letter by Rahul Gandhi talking about the core message of the yatra, along with a "charge sheet'' against the Modi government. The party also plans to take out state-level marches by women party workers across the country which will be led by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
